The timing of this film couldn't be better. It is a much watch for anyone who was the victim of a sexual assault or knows someone who is. You will learn so much about the physical and emotional damage it does. Director/writer Jessica Thompson has brought it, and Stephanie Beatriz gives an Oscar-worthy performance!

This is a very moving film about a woman who survives a sexual assault, but almost doesn't survive the emotional aftermath when she chooses to keep silent about the experience. Before you worry that it is a "feel bad" movie, I assure you it is anything but. This is a drama, but the lead actress Stephanie Beatriz brings her comedic charm into the role, making her character that much more appealing. Truthfully, Stephanie Beatriz is so incredible in this film, I just don't know who else could've made the writing and her character pop the same way she did. This is a film about relationships, about the reality of sexual assault, about living in New York City, and about one woman's attempt to cope. I highly recommend it!

Light of the Moon is a unique film, approaching the subject of rape in a sobering, relatable way. The movie begins with a stylish architect who goes out for a typical Brooklyn-night-out with friends and is assaulted on her walk home. What's remarkable and most disturbing about this movie is how it pragmatic it presents the awful crime of rape. The residual events are rational and never over dramatic as the story follows Bonnie's psychology and that of her boyfriend's through the weeks the couple attempts at resolving the incident, sometimes through awkward moments, and sometimes through tearful fights. After all, the world continues to turn around Bonnie despite what happened to her. The dialogues are visceral as we understand the feelings of Bonnie as she accuses those around her for treating her like a victim, while simultaneously we empathize with her boyfriend and his point of view. This is an eye opening film.

A movie of passion, occupational conflicts and real contradiction. As a real life drama it is very good. It reflects every corner of human life. A life full of uncontrollable emotions..A mind with ups and downs..A thought without proper destination. This type of dramas need a good submerging plot and this movie has got it surely. It starts with the story of a female architect. Her successful carrier and her decorated life. But soon the life is doomed with her several conflicts..Conflicts regarding her work...her personal relations..her personal life...her struggles and frustations. All these makes it a complex form of daily life. The ultimate question arises about her survival against all odds..all these negativity of her life.Those who likes to see action and thriller movies will find a little interest in it. But those who like to see dramas and also like to explore the human expressions and emotions will enjoy it. It has no mystery or high voltage special effect to entertain you. But it can make you really nostalgic. It can touch your mind and can produce emotional outburst from you. Stephanie Beatriz has done well in the central role. I have never seen her before. But in this character she is quite well tolerable and her expressions, cry, dialogue delivery all make the film more attractive.Most of our life are full of success and struggle. This movie is also such type. So in a nut shell it can be said that it is a movie of our life..It is a movie made for us....
